I knew she could control energy fields, but I didn’t think Donna could actually invade Mech-Tech’s Tron space. I’m also a little surprised she could strangle someone who probably doesn’t breathe air. I suppose it’s artistic license for something else.

That being said something doesn’t seem right. Mech-tech doesn’t seem any stronger with Cloud’s upgrade and the antagonists are losing this early in the chapter. I think there’s another reversal soon, but what I don’t know and can’t guess.

really? i thought Donna have very few base abilities but could like the black rose borrow a portion of the ability of others if she was close enough to them. besides didn’t she get most of her non Golem summoning abilities from the same ritual that gave Freddy G his magic power?

e_voyager: The Order of the Dragon used a ritual to share all of their powers with each other. Donna’s original ability was reading hearts in entrails. Golem summoning came from Hus, Energy fields from Xi, Illusions from Rob, Scrying from Jon + the Eye of Ramses, Teleportation + flight from Edward, and nothing from Keith.

There was never anything like borrowing someone else’s powers if she was close to them, though.

I’m more surprised about the whole “Nukes launch yourselves” thing. With all the fuss made about the fallibility of electronic systems, the need for human operator intervention and how important confirmation is for the launch process, that was just weird. Do they start fueling themselves? The orders hijack planes, subs and aircraft carriers? Not related but is Mechtech breaking the fourth wall here?

Brasca1: You could argue that Donna strangling MechTech is just the visual representation of what happens in their cyberfight. Kind of like a graphic user interface on a computer.

Or they actually are physically real in TronSpace and going for some good old fisticuffs. And whether you need air to breathe or not, when your vocal cords are obstructed, you won’t exactly be saying much. Like orders for massive nuclear destruction for example.

It’s not “borrowing,” it’s “copying.” The sharing was permanent: it didn’t blink out of existence even after the original owners of the abilities started dying. Feddyg used the illusion powers he got from Rob as effectively after killing Rob as before.
